[JOCK BUDDIES...]

I don't know that we were close, necessarily, but we did come to know each other by virtue of spending so much time together.

[rippled]

Mm. I did not know him particularly well, but he is close to people I spoke to foten.

[ uruha.... koharu... ]

[faithkept]

[There's a slow, quiet nod. Thinking about how Claude is out there probably having a better day knowing Uruha is dead.]

He's a very kind person with a soft and caring heart. I worry for him... Even knowing that we're close isn't enough to ease the pain of the loss, really.

[rippled]

It's also a shame for it to happen so close to the end, too. I was really hoping it'll finally stop.

[ the entity should have just seen a guy murder three people and thought that was a great finale. ]

[faithkept]

[Truly the absolute dive from 3 to 1 is still hilarious. GET ON HIS LEVEL, ENTITY.]

I was, as well. It's still wonderful news that the Entity was apprehended at all, but that it managed to do harm one last time is... frustrating.

[rippled]

Well, we can ask Uruha about it soon, at least. Perhaps he can give us any indication what went on.

[faithkept]

Hopefully so. At least it's only the one, this time...

[So many of these trials have just been the one, even if it started out as two. Oh, their midtrials.]

[rippled]

And there is not that many options left for who it can be.

[ watch like half the trial be out. ]

[faithkept]

[THERE'S 5 PEOPLE AND NONE OF THEM AHVE REMOTELY THE SAME SIZE FEET]

A good thing, given they have fewer hands to work with as well.

[rippled]

I really do not envy them, no. Especially when people refuse to participate.

[ says person who refused to do strip check. ]

[faithkept]

[THEY REALLY REFUSED EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND GOT AWAY WITH IT THE WHOLEASS TIME.]

At this point, I believe the number is fairly low, at least. Even those who are reticent to participate will join in once they've been pinpointed as a potential suspect, and to be honest, I don't find it necessary to force them before then.

[He can say this because even though he participated, he still did not often search more than one or two other people a trial.]

[rippled]

[ saber was never a suspect so they did not see the point.

so they nod. ]

It was usually always a specific height group... somehow...

[faithkept]

[Lucas also wasn't until he very abruptly was, so he understands.]

...Come to think of it, most people who were killed and who were afflicted or acted otherwise were rather tall, weren't they?

[rippled]

Yes... it is why I never understood why they wanted me to remove my clothing.

[ they are so short. ]

[faithkept]

[THEY ARE SO SHORT... He just nods, though. This is also part of why he did not pester people who chose not to participate.]

For thoroughness' sake, I suppose, but... well. At least they didn't pester you overly-so.

[rippled]

Haha, well, they would have had to force me to.

[ saber would have fought them all they don't give a fuck. ]

[faithkept]

[FUCKING HELP ME.]

—Even if you had ended up on a list of people under suspicion someday?

[rippled]

[ give them a minute they




genuinely have to consider this ]

... if they have good reason to suspect me...

[faithkept]

[THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER IT.

Lucas thinks this is fine, though. He just nods.]

I think that's fair enough, then, really.

[Don't just basically say fighting is okay in any other instance.]

[rippled]

[ this is why they are luber <3 ]

Well, only Wis'adel and Mizu are the only ones who really decline that are left now, anyway. And the former can give in if you pressure her enough.

[faithkept]

[OUR LUBER... SLIDES INTO W6 ON THE KISS COUNTER.]

I suppose we'll see whether or not that will happen tomorrow, then. If anyone's left shoes or gloves lying around, there are only so many groups of people they'll be able to fit.

[rippled]

There is a weird amount of abandoned shoes, isn't there?

[ why... ]

[faithkept]

[WHY.]

I don't really understand it, myself. I've never lost a shoe like that...

[Chasing people down to supermurder them, which he has a lot of practice with.]

Are they not tying the laces well enough? Are they just changing after and leaving their shoes out there?

[rippled]

Wouldn't it be smarter to just hide it under your bed or something? We have never done room checks.

[ they have so many questions. ]

[faithkept]

[Thinking about the cage under his bed.]

I suppose Firefly did place a pair of incriminating shoes back into her room that time that Yves went with her to fetch them, but she was shedding so many other parts of her outfit that it ultimately didn't make much of a difference...
